The shared series of monochrome snaps and videos showcased Mendes working in his studio on his new melodies.
He kicked off his caption, “creating art can be hard mannn…I’ve found myself many times looping in a pattern of waiting for inspiration to strike before picking up the guitar or sitting at the piano.”
The If I Can't Have You singer further added, “Eventually i remember how important the willingness to just show up is.”
While revealing about the process of making new melodies, he concluded, “How showing up and trying even with nothing is kinda like sending a message up to the sky saying “i’m here and willing and open” and usually, that’s when my hands stumble across a little special chord or my voice a melody that i like.”

It's worth noting that in June 2023, Shawn unveiled the single titled What the Hell Are We Dying For? and shared that he has faced challenges in the past year while working on creating new music.
Shawn's most recent music drop came in the form of his 2020 album, Wonder, and he kicked off a global tour in March 2022.
Yet, a few months into the Wonder World Tour, Shawn surprised his fan base by canceling the remaining shows to prioritize his mental well-being.
